    Burrata  Prosciutto Pizza
    Victoria P.

    Just came for a Mother's Day dinner and it was packed! The food was delicious, but what I really liked was how natural all the ingredients tasted. The recipes were simple but effective, great service and romantic ambiance. This place does get dark at night! Also it can feel a bit crowded since the space is small. Overall great time!

    Carrot Cake

    Came for a date night on a Saturday, it was super fast to get seated! The service was amazing from then on, very attentive and suggestions were on point. We had the crab pasta, prosciutto pizza, affogato and carrot cake. All were AMAZING and we can't wait to go back

    I asked if they had the carrot cake when I entered the restaurant. Of course they have it. The Dessert is one giant slice of cake and 4 forks due to the generous slice. We brought our friends here for a birthday celebration. It is a small neighborhood restaurant, delicious food and easy parking. We started off with a family sized beet salad. We also had the arancini which was 3 balls of goodness. We Also shared a crispy Brussels sprouts dish which is a must order each time I come. We ordered the crispy crusts mushroom pizza and Margherita pizza. Mushroom pappardelle sans dairy. All pastas are home made per the server. Wow did not know that! I had the bone in pork chop with mash potatoes and spinach. It was a large dish, so had a take home box. Service is excellent. I learned that they only serve beer and wine, not cocktails. I will always come back,

    With my partner's family, we went to Berkeley to try this delectable restaurant. Parking was quite easy to find and we were the first customers inside. The servers were all quite friendly and happy to help. We were seated and ordered a few beers, brussel sprouts, pork chop, steak, gnocchi, campanelle, and burrata. Each item was made very well and delicious. It was a very solid meal and we'd certainly want to come back. We ended the meal with fluffy panna cotta and a scoop of salted caramel gelato. So refreshing and lightly sweet! The whole restaurant quickly filled up on that Tuesday evening and it's easy to see why~

    A lot of people don't know that the City of Berkeley sits on top of a number of creeks. Long before the city was built, these creeks flowed bringing vibrant life and beauty to the region. Well Creekwood is doing just that! This quaint restaurant on Sacramento Ave. brings a nice array of Italian and American cuisine. With both indoor and outdoor seating you can be fulfilled on a cold or hot day. I was very impressed w/ the Cesar Salad. Actual fresh anchovies and the perfect blend of lettuce, croutons and dressing. A great salad to at pair w/ wine and to start your pasta/mains. For me the Cameroni was the highlight. I loved the pork sausage ragu w/ touches of broccolini topped w/ pecorino and fennel. Honestly when I first saw on the menu that it was lightly topped w/ fennel seeds, I got nervous. Too much could throw off the whole dish. But that wasn't the case. I feel like you really can't go wrong with w/ any of the pizza selections. For us, the Mushroom Pizza definitely hit the spot. Truly enjoyed the delicious flavors of chantrelles w/ mozzarella, pecorino on top of a bed of marinara w/ splashes of white truffle oil. The perfect dish to share amongst friends.

    Brought my extended family here for their first time and dinner was absolute perfection! Brussel sprouts, meatballs, and beet salad to start- gnocchi, cameroni, pappardelle, and short rib entrees- and multiple desserts all round to end the meal. Everything was delicious and service was impeccable. Creekwood is always a good time!

    Mimosa Special
    Will E.

    Of course I had to come back here to try some new dishes since the last time we were here we enjoyed our food. We like doing brunch so this place had a good menu for brunch. We got here about an hour after opening and it wasn't that busy at all. We sat down and the waitress came by to see if we wanted some waters which we did. We ordered the meatballs appetizer and then the mimosa special which was a bottle of sparkling and a carafe of OJ for $45. A great way to start the day and for the price you can't beat it. The meatballs came out and they were just as good as I remembered. Tender, juicy, and a great marinara sauce. For our entrees we ordered the pastrami Benedict and the egg sandwhich with bacon. Our order came out pretty quick which you expect since it wasn't busy. My egg sandwhich was delicious, the bread was light, the eggs were fluffy, the bacon was cooked crispy which I like, and the potatoes were also cooked perfect crispy like I like. The eggs Benedict with pastrami had lots a flavor to it. A must try. Of course our waitress was great, she came by frequently to see if we needed anything. We were too full for dessert. Next time.

    Incredible little spot! My daughter and I sat at the counter overlooking the small but very efficient kitchen. Our server was amazingly attentive and very helpful in making menu suggestions. The burrata was wonderful, and I can HIGHLY recommend the rich-but-not-heavy-or-sweet flourless chocolate cake!

    Pizzas -Margherita Pizza and Italian Sausage Pizza
    Toni L.

    We went here for brunch one Sunday since we wanted some pizza, turned out that pizza only served at dinner. Well we came back for dinner and ordered the pizza turned out that it's only looks good on picture from Our fellow yelped. The dough was hard and the sauce was nothing to brag about. We did enjoyed their salad and pasta though so for sure we will skipped the pizza but will return for other dishes. Good service, food comes out fast and both indoor and outdoor seating are great.

    Landed here in our search for blue cheese and pear pizza BUT we missed it by like six months. The pizza they're offering now is the blue cheese and PEACH pizza. Anyway, we felt it was a well crafted pizza.. rich smell of blue cheese.. the peach slice flavors also really popped when I ate them individually. If I do have to nitpick, the pancetta was a toss up. I felt it was too dry and crunchy; my wife loved it because of the texture. Highly recommend this pizza though! I ordered the speck pizza. I'm not too impressed with this one because I'm not getting consistent flavors with every bite. The smoked prosciutto usually disappear from the first bite leaving you with nothing else.

    Italian Sausage Pizza
    Breanne S.

    Super cute spot with great food! We shared the Brussels sprouts, gnocchi, & sausage pizza. All the food was delicious but the gnocchi was my favorite with a very rich & smooth pesto sauce. Came on a Thursday night & there was no wait. Highly recommend coming here!

    Came here for dinner with three friends on a Saturday evening. Staff and Service: - Staff was friendly and we had a couple of different people making sure we had a good experience Food: Based on the service, I wanted to like this place more. There wasn't anything memorable about the dishes. - House Salad: this dish was basically a pile of spinach with limited dressing. - Little Gems Salad: this one was better and had more flavor - Wild Boar Sugo: the noodles were good, but this dish was salty overall - I appreciate that they had a few nonalcoholic drinks as well. The Bellini Peach Soda was tasty Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via local street parking - Reservations available - Heated outdoor seating available - Overall, a bit disappointed. It wasn't bad, but not great either.

    Cameroni
    Romelia R.

    We had an amazing time and enjoyed all our dishes. We ordered the Caesar salad, House Pepperoni Pizza, Gnocchi, and Cameroni. Our waiter was very attentive and even let us have a taste of a wine because we couldn't decide between two. They have a good wine and beer list. We could had done without the Caesar salad. Nothing special. The pastas were the winners of the night. The sauces were packed with flavors. The house pepperoni pizza was light on the hot honey but the crispy pepperonis made up for it.

    Is there gluten free pasta?

    We have gluten-free pizza- not pasta at this time

    Parking situation- safe and easy or not ? Thanks! I don't live in Berkeley so not sure at night ...

    There is street parking. I'd be surprised if you had any issues during the time you dine, but it's not the best neighborhood. Just be aware of your surroundings and don't leave valuables in the car.

    Is there a corkage fee? If so, how much? Thanks!

    Yes it is $18. We waive a corkage fee for every bottle purchased off our list.

    Do you ever have a seafood entree on the menu (branzino or salmon, for instance)?

    We have not yet so far, but it is something we have talked about for the future.

    Any details on the beer options?

    We have four on tap. Currently pouring Faction IPA, Magnolia Kolsch, Almanac Hazy IPA, and Scrimshaw Pilsner

    Aside from beef, does any of the meat come from pasture-based operations?

    Yes! Our chicken is Rocky Jr free range. The lamb is Superior Farms (sustainably raised American lamb)

    Is the beef/meat free range and grass-fed?

    Hi Alanna... no the beef is not grass fed, we prefer the flavor of non-grass fed. To my knowledge there isn't any designation for free range beef

The bakery itself seems to mainly be a takeout spot, with minimal indoor seating which felt pretty inconvenient given the limited space for customers, however it did seem to serve more of a purpose as a waiting area anyways. The structure of the bakery leaves a bit to be desired as well, as we found the glass display cases as the only form of menu, so being in the front of the line while still deciding what to order caused some unnecessary anxiety. Regardless of those nitpicks, the baked goods themselves were pretty good! Service was instant, and all of the treats looked delicious--it was hard to choose what we wanted! Our favorites were the Thai Tea and Ube Coconut Mochi Donuts. Both had really strong flavors--the Ube in particular was very clear in comparison to most other Ube desserts in my experience. The textures of the mochi donuts were really well done too, with soft exteriors and chewy, glutinous interiors. The same can be said about the Mochi Muffins, though with crunchier parts around the edges. We found the contrast of textures to actually work really well! However, the flavors of the Muffins were lacking a bit--the Red Velvet didn't stand out much, with the frosting tasting a bit too sweet, and while the Five Spice had a really interesting flavor, it was also a bit too sweet, drowning out the more unique citrusy flavor. Overall, however, all four of the goods we had were enjoyable eats, and would definitely return some time to try out other flavors!

We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

They describe it like a hug from mom, and that's exactly how you would explain how comforting this drink was. We ordered: Grilled Pork Jowl - OMG!! I think I died and went to heaven! First of all, it was plated beautifully!! The egg was perfection! How did they season the scrambled egg to be so flavorful? And the pork jowls? Grilled and cooked so well. This must be a local favorite! Special Dish: Game Hen - This was amazing! The hen was marinated in Thai spices then steamed for a couple hours. The chicken was moist and tender. The jus was flavorful and is then poured over the chicken. I can't stop thinking about it. It didn't come with rice but this would be best served with some rice. I would love to return and try more dishes. This place is a gem!

Everything we had was great quality with choice ingredients where you could actually taste the difference. Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich: herb butter, roasted seasonal vegetables and onions, soft-cooked egg, and greens. Surprisingly filling, we were trying to share a bunch of little bites but ended up getting one each of these. It's fine as a stand alone mini breakfast! Frittata: pastured eggs, assorted vegetables, caramelized onions. WAY too good! we all love this one. Herb-Dijon Biscuit: Excellent savory biscuit, you can taste the high quality butter used.

    Very cute and quaint spot for breakfast. A friend suggested we meet here on Saturday for a late…read morebreakfast, what a great choice. It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer. Although the seating was full, thank goodness out food came out just as some seats were emptying out. It was a chilly day and the outside seating was full too. The service was without any complaints. They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!! Put it on your list, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Cali Alley is one of my go-to spots... I'm constantly trying to convince people to meet me there…read morefor lunch, or telling them to just DoorDash it because it's that good. It's also one of those places that makes you want to stay. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generous. Every time I come here, I tell myself I'll pace myself... and every time I fail because it's just that good. The burgers are loaded and perfectly balanced, the fries are always crisp (never soggy, which is rare), and everything tastes high-quality and made to order. You have to try the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter tastes homemade and the butter takes it to another level... it's one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. I'll even DoorDash it all the way to Jingletown. The patio setup is really well done... there's a mix of larger tables for groups and higher bar-style seating for smaller hangs. The wooden furniture and cushioned benches make it comfortable, and they've got heaters for colder days and umbrellas when it's sunny, so you can usually pick your ideal spot. You order at the window and then just hang out while you wait... it's a relaxed flow and the food comes out pretty quickly. The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, homey vibe with really good music. Highly recommend... just come hungry.

    Cali Alley is one of those places I have looked at thousands of times when trying to figure out…read morewhat to order on Door Dash or Uber Eats. The food always looked really good, but for whatever reason I always ended up ordering from somewhere else. Well, I finally did it. I finally ordered from Cali Alley, and all I have to say is, why did I wait so darn long? Door Dash was having a 2-for-1 deal on the Cali Alley Burger, so I ordered one of those (and got another for free) , as well as on the small mac and cheese, so I ended up with two of those as well. I got fries as he side for the burgers and saved the second burger and mac and cheese for the next day. I also bought a small side of veggie fried rice for lunch later in the week. OK, let's start with the fries ... wow. Super crispy. Don't know what they do to them, but I think I almost ate all the fries that came with one of the burgers before I even touched the burger. The fries seemed to have a coating like some fries do to make them extra crispy on the outside. Whatever it was, it made them so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I was almost too full for the burger. But who are we kidding? If there is one thing I am good at, it is eating more than I should. The burger, which is described on Door Dash as "char grilled, fresh ground brisket and short rib burger, served on a toasted brioche fun with crisp lettuce, tomato onion marmalade and garlic aioli" was thick and incredibly flavorful. I couldn't stop eating that, either. It was that good. I ordered it medium, and it was pretty pink, but it was sooooooo flavorful, and all the toppings worked well together. I didn't get any cheese on it because I wanted to try to burger by itself and not mask it with cheese. I might try adding cheese next time, but honestly the burger is so good, I almost wouldn't want to cover up its flavor with cheese. Oh, I almost forgot. When you order on Door Dash, you can opt to have them include a small side of their chocolate-chipotle bbq sauce, and I highly recommend that you get it. It's a really interesting flavor and is good for dipping the fries in. I didn't try putting it on the burger, but that might be good, too. The mac and cheese was OK. It's important to note that I enjoyed the flavor but it is more of an eggy consistency than a saucy mac and cheese if that makes sense. It has a nice kick of black pepper, which I liked, though. The vegetarian fried rice was also fine but could have used a little salt. All that to say, don't be like me and procrastinate, get the Cali Alley Burger and fries ASAP.
